The quaint little fishing village of Albufeira is a great place to visit if you are looking for some serious rest and relaxation under the golden sun. The area is surrounded by a number of beaches that offer some of the most postcard perfect views of the Atlantic coastline imaginable. There are three major beaches right in the city center as well as a multitude of more secluded locations just outside of town to choose from; like the Salgados lagoon which lies just outside of town.

There are many things to see and do in Albufeira too. If you are a golfer, then you will love the fact that this village has a number of fine golf courses to choose from. Then of course there are water sports galore and a night life like no other. The large number of bars and night clubs give anyone something to do well into the night and early morning. Then of course there is the marina, theme parks and the shopping centers which line the beaches and streets that will keep anyone busy for hours.

In the center of town, you will feel as if you stepped back in time. He whitewashed buildings which line the ancient narrow cobblestone paths reminiscent of the days of the Moors can be found everywhere. The streets are lined with cafes and restaurants where you can get a taste of the local delicacies. But the real action happens in the area that is known simply as the strip. It is the home to some of the most famous bars and nightclubs in Algarve.

There is quite a lot to see and do in this quaint little fishing village from the days of old. So much, that Albufeira attracts tens of thousands of visitors from all over Europe and the world every single year.
